Meamnar:The Rock

The Rock is an adventure for five 3rd level player characters (PC's). The adventure is set aboard a ship in the Andrean Sea in the campaign setting of Meamnar. The adventure was included in the tabletop campaign Stoned.

Adventure Background

The Island

About a month ago, a massive tear opened in the sky. From the fire and brimstone visible within the tear, an enormous obsidian rock emerged, falling toward the ocean. While one end of the rock is now buried in the seabed, the other extends about 50 feet above the surface. This new 'island' is sharp, jagged, and black as midnight. It glows faintly at night, a yellowish-green glow visible from up to a mile away.

The Curse

Garvyn, captain of the ship, was hired by a wizard in Poznan to get a 'sample' from the island, which he did on his way to Hylar City. Now on the return trip, the ship passes close enough for the rock to get revenge. Until Garvyn and the sample are both delivered to the rock, it will proceed to possess members of the crew and, using them, steer the ship toward itself, at a speed that will most assuredly mean the destruction of the ship.

Beginning the Adventure

The Curse

Garvyn was hired by a wizard in Poznan to get a ‘sample’ from the island, which he did on his way to Hylar City. Now, on the return trip, they get pulled in. Who knows about that?

The Island

A big obsidian rock, jagged, no coral, no vegetation, appeared within the last two months, some say it fell from the sky. It glows faintly at night.

The Journey

Some sailors, some of the more superstitious ones, will escape in the rafts toward the coastline. The ship will turn toward the island, on a collision course, pulled toward it.

Possession

The entity will periodically try to possess a character. When doing so, the character is given a DC 15 Will Save. If he fails, he is Fascinated for one turn, after which he is then possessed. If the Fascination effect is broken, the character is then Exhausted.
